Kumla Municipality (which in Swedish is Kumla kommun) is a local government area in central Sweden. It is part of Örebro County. The main town, or "seat," of the municipality is called Kumla.

Kumla Municipality is the smallest municipality in Örebro County. It covers an area of about 207 square kilometers.
